BOSE Acoustic Wave Music System II

Best all-in-one music system is now even better. The Acoustic Wave® music system II offers more lifelike sound for larger spaces, with improved functionality and versatility, yet remains refreshingly simple to use. In 2006, Bose introduced the new Acoustic Wave Music System II, which added a CD/MP3 player, a bigger screen, and improved acoustics. Even though it is rather small in stature, you would be surprised to hear the room fill up with booming sounds, maintaining crystal clear clarity even at high volumes. Such a simple audio product will set you back by $1,079 - so why not fork out an extra $179 for a stand that plugs in a remote control as well
